I love this bath mat! We are moving this week, and I am so excited to get into our new home and make it our own! I think this bath mat will need to be made for one or more of our bathrooms! There are so many color options, I may have to make several to see what I like the most!

The color combo of this bathmat is beautiful! The vibrant motifs add a nice texture, too.
